The San Francisco Giants issued the following statement on behalf of the Greenwald Family:
It is with deep sadness we announce that former Giants broadcaster Hank Greenwald passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon at the age of 83 after a long battle with heart and kidney complications.
“Hank was a broadcasting legend throughout the Bay Area and was a huge part of the Giants throughout his 16 seasons as our play-by-play announcer. He was the key link to our fans listening at home and brought our game to life through the radio,” said Giants President and CEO Larry Baer.
